Hello,
Puffy face is a sign of hypothyroidism for which you have been prescribed thyronorm. You have been taking it for just 2 weeks. Time required for thyroxine to start effecting may take 4 to 6 weeks. This puffy face will even take more time to get settled. But remember it will settle only with regular uninterrupted use of thyronorm. A good compliance and wait is necessary to see it in action.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
